There have been rumors about Naughty Dog vice president and director Neil Druckmann’s next project for some time now. He teased it at last year’s Summer Game Fest showcase but said it was too early to discuss. Rumors have circulated that it’s The Last of Us Part 3, but there’s been no official confirmation.
Regardless, Druckmann continues to tease. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about The Last of Us HBO series, he stated he’s also “working on another game.” When asked about the third game in the series, he smiled and responded, “As far as the next game at Naughty Dog, I can’t say anything. My comms director over there will slaughter me.”
The fact that he emphasized “next game”, as if clarifying that he wasn’t talking about the next title in The Last of Us series, says a lot. Or perhaps nothing at all. Regardless, Naughty Dog is also working on a standalone multiplayer title in the series, though it needs more time before its reveal. Rumors claim that the project is being re-evaluated and the team scaled back. As always, stay tuned for any updates.
